Eagles signed OT Will Beatty to a one-year contract.

Hunting for work since the end of last season, Beatty will give the Eagles some options along their Jason Peters-less offensive line. Beatty hasn't made a start since 2014, so he won't be a plug-and-play option. He missed all of 2015 and came off the bench for the Giants last season. He's depth that could eventually spell Halapoulivaati Vaitai on the blindside. Tue, Nov 14, 2017 03:35:00 PM

This is the first we have heard from the veteran this offseason. Considering he could not earn a role on the Giants' subpar line last season, Beatty is unlikely to be anything more than depth if he finds a job. Thu, Aug 24, 2017 12:03:00 PM

Beatty made the free agent rounds, but couldn't find a new home. He'll likely begin the year as the Giants' swing tackle, but could put immediate pressure on RT Marshall Newhouse. If the G-Men grow uncomfortable with Ereck Flowers on the blindside, Flowers could be shifted to the right with Newhouse headed to the bench. Tue, Aug 30, 2016 02:26:00 PM

This is the first we have heard from the veteran this offseason. Considering he could not earn a role on the Giants' subpar line last season, Beatty is unlikely to be anything more than depth if he finds a job.

Beatty made the free agent rounds, but couldn't find a new home. He'll likely begin the year as the Giants' swing tackle, but could put immediate pressure on RT Marshall Newhouse. If the G-Men grow uncomfortable with Ereck Flowers on the blindside, Flowers could be shifted to the right with Newhouse headed to the bench.

Free agent LT Will Beatty is working out for the Panthers on Wednesday.

Beatty's market has picked up considerable steam over the last few days. He worked out for the Jaguars last Friday, while the Eagles also "reached out" to Beatty. In Carolina, he could potentially push RT Mike Remmers.

Beatty's free agent market has picked up in recent days. He had a workout with the Jaguars on Friday and is mulling a contract offer. The Eagles have also checked in on Beatty, who sat out all of last season with a torn pectoral. Philadelphia is looking for insurance at tackle with Lane Johnson expected to serve a 10-game suspension. The ex-Giant should have a new home in the next few days.

According to Newsday's Tom Rock, the Jaguars offered Beatty a contract and are awaiting word as he "mulls the offer." Beatty tore his pec in May 2015 and missed all of last season. He's finally healthy. Beatty would provide loads of starting experience and compete for the swing-tackle job.

NJ.com reports the Giants' "bridge" with free agent OT Will Beatty is "pretty much burned."

Per reporter Jordan Raanan, Beatty would "only return if he had no other options." On the other side of the coin, Raanan reports the Giants are concerned by "what they perceived as a lack of desire." The G-Men need help/depth opposite LT Ereck Flowers, but aren't treating it as an urgent matter. Beatty has made no known visits in free agency since his February release.

Free agent OT Will Beatty declined workouts with the Broncos and Raiders earlier this offseason because he was not fully recovered from shoulder surgery.

Beatty underwent surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in November. "I don’t want to show them an injured Will," Beatty said. "I don’t want to visit a team and say ‘It’ll get better.’ I want to be good and ready to go. I want to say ‘I’m ready and I can be your guy.’" It explains why Beatty has not made any waves to this point in free agency. The Broncos and Raiders have already made their moves on the offensive line, but the veteran tackle should garner interest once he is ready.

The Giants are starting to purge the roster of overpaid veterans. Beatty joins RG Geoff Schwartz and MLB Jon Beason on the street, as all three were cut Wednesday morning. Beatty missed the entire 2015 season after suffering a torn pectoral last May. He also underwent rotator cuff surgery toward the end of the year. Beatty will turn 31 next month. The Giants save $4.175 million with the move and will surge forward with Ereck Flowers on Eli Manning's blind side.

ESPN Giants reporter Dan Graziano believes the team will "part ways" with veteran LT Will Beatty.

Beatty is owed a $6.625 million base salary and is set to count $9.175 million against the cap. Both numbers would be fine for a left tackle, but it appears the Giants will move forward with 2015 first-rounder Ereck Flowers on the left side. That likely means Beatty will have to accept both a pay cut and a demotion to right tackle if he wants to stay in New York. It is unlikely he wants to do either.

Giants LT Will Beatty (PUP) will undergo rotator cuff surgery and is done for the season.

Beatty started the season on the PUP after tearing his pectoral lifting weights in May. He returned to practice three weeks ago, but the Giants had been hesitant to activate him. This news explains why. With Beatty done for the year, rookie Ereck Flowers will continue to man the left tackle spot with Marshall Newhouse on the right side. Beatty is owed $6.675 million in salary and bonuses next season with a cap hit of $9.175 million. With Flowers set to man the left side for the foreseeable future, it would not be shocking if the Giants moved on.

Beatty tore his pec lifting weights in May. He returned to practice three weeks ago, but coach Tom Coughlin appeared unsure if Beatty would be able to contribute this season during an interview earlier in the week. If Beatty is not activated by 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, he will revert to season-ending injured reserve. The Giants will move forward with rookie Ereck Flowers at left tackle and Marshall Newhouse on the right side if Beatty is not activated.

It starts a 21-day window for the Giants to activate Beatty after he tore his pec working out in May. He should be back in the lineup sometime in the next couple weeks. Rookie LT Ereck Flowers has been obliterated in pass pro, but has proven to be a strong run blocker. Beatty could push him to right tackle.

The Giants remain unsure of when LT Will Beatty (pectoral, PUP) will resume practicing.

Beatty is eligible to come off the PUP list this week, but it sounds like he'll stay there at least another week or two. The Giants' offensive line got ripped apart in Monday's loss to the Eagles, giving renewed urgency to Beatty's return.

Depth Charts

Carson Wentz (knee) was seen throwing up to 50 yards prior to Super Bowl LII.

No longer confined to crutches, Wentz let it rip during pregame warmups on Sunday, throwing balls up to 50 yards off his back foot. Wentz is making noticeable progress in his recovery from a torn ACL and expects to be ready for Week 1. Despite the injury, the second-year signal caller has promised not to change his style of play.

Jeffery is out at least six months after rotator cuff surgery. He'll likely spend all of training camp and the preseason on the active/PUP list, but most signs point to him being back for the start of the season. The missed time could be a concern given Jeffery's history of conditioning issues and setbacks. The Eagles are counting on Jeffery to stay healthy after signing him to a four-year, $52 million extension.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Jason Peters (ACL) is his "starting left tackle."

Peters has already said he will play in 2018, and it sounds like his coach will welcome him back with open arms. "He’s a Pro Bowl left tackle," Pederson said. "Guys like that, in my opinion, in my humble opinion, they can go out when they want to go out." Peters is questionable for training camp after tearing his ACL and MCL in October.
